Page top General Notes (Scanner Driver) Page 18 of 308 pages On-screen Manual > Scanning Guide > General Notes (Scanner Driver) General Notes (Scanner Driver) ScanGear (scanner driver) is subject to the following restrictions. Keep these points in mind when using it. Scanner Driver Restrictions When using the NTFS file system, the TWAIN data source may not be invoked. This is because the TWAIN module cannot be written to the winnt folder for security reasons. Contact the computer's administrator for help. Some computers (including laptops) connected to the machine may not resume correctly from standby mode. In that case, restart the computer. Do not connect two or more machines or multifunction printers with scanner function to the same computer simultaneously. If multiple scanning devices are connected, you cannot scan from a button on the machine (Scanner Button) and also may experience errors while accessing the devices. Software screens may not appear correctly on Windows Vista when font size is set to Larger scale. If you want to display the screens with Larger scale fonts, change the theme in Appearance and Personalization to Windows Classic as follows: 1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel. 2. Select Appearance and Personalization > Personalization > Theme. The Theme Settings dialog box opens. 3. On the Theme tab of the Theme Settings dialog box, select Windows Classic under Theme. 4. Click OK. Desktop changes to Windows Classic view. Use the default display font size of the OS. Otherwise, software screens may not appear correctly. ScanGear (scanner driver) cannot be opened in multiple applications at the same time. Within an application, ScanGear (scanner driver) cannot be opened for the second time when it is already open. Be sure to close the ScanGear (scanner driver) window before closing the application. Make sure that you have adequate disk space available when scanning large images at high resolutions. For example, at least 300 MB of free space is required to scan an A4 document at 600 dpi in full-color. Thick documents may not be cropped correctly when scanned. In that case, crop each item individually or crop manually. ScanGear (scanner driver) and WIA driver cannot be used at the same time. Do not enter the computer into sleep or hibernate state during scanning. Calibration may take time if the machine is connected via USB 1.1. Scanning may fail if the computer has resumed from sleep or standby mode. In that case, disconnect the USB cable from the computer and reconnect it. Applications with Restrictions on Use If you start Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you may not be able to scan using a button on the machine (Scanner Button). In that case, restart the computer. You cannot scan images with Media Center included in Windows Vista™ and Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Scan with other applications such as MP Navigator EX. In some applications, you may encounter a problem when you use Multi-Crop in the Advanced Mode tab of ScanGear (scanner driver). In that case, scan each document individually, changing Paper Size according to the document. In some applications, if you select the View scanned images checkbox in the Auto Scan Mode tab of ScanGear (scanner driver), the window displaying the thumbnails of the scanned images may close automatically. General Notes (Scanner Driver) Page 19 of 308 pages Some applications may not display the TWAIN user interface. In that case, refer to the application's manual and change the settings accordingly. Some applications do not support continuous scanning of multiple documents. In some cases, only the first scanned image is accepted, or multiple images are scanned as one image. When scanning platen size images into a Microsoft Office application (such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint), click Custom Insert in the Insert Picture from Scanner or Camera screen. Otherwise, images may not be scanned correctly. Images may not be scanned correctly in some applications. In that case, increase the operating system's virtual memory and retry. When image size is too large (such as when scanning large images at high resolution), your computer may not respond or the progress bar may remain at 0% depending on the application. In that case, cancel the action (for example by clicking Cancel on the progress bar), then increase the operating system's virtual memory or reduce the image size/resolution and retry. Alternatively, scan the image via MP Navigator EX first, then save and import it into the application. Page top Placing Documents Page 20 of 308 pages On-screen Manual > Scanning Guide > Placing Documents Placing Documents Learn how to place documents on the machine's Platen. Place documents correctly according to the type of document to be scanned. Otherwise, documents may not be scanned correctly. Important When opening the Document Cover, support the cover with your hand until it opens and stops completely. Placing Documents Placing Film Placing Documents Place documents as described below to allow the machine to detect the document type or size automatically. Important When scanning by specifying the document type or size in MP Navigator EX or ScanGear (scanner driver), align an upper corner of the document with the corner at the arrow of the Platen. Do not place items that weigh 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg) or more on the Platen. Also, do not press on the document with a force exceeding 4.4 lbs (2.0 kg). If you press heavily, the scanner may not work correctly or you might break the glass. When scanning with the Document Cover fully open or with the machine placed upright, the document type may not be detected automatically. In that case, specify the document type in MP Navigator EX or ScanGear (scanner driver). Photos that have been cut to various shapes and documents smaller than 1.18 inches (3 cm) square cannot be cropped accurately when scanning. Reflective CD/DVD labels may not be scanned properly. Close the Document Cover when scanning. When Scanning Photos, Hagaki, Business Cards or CD/DVD When Scanning Magazines, Newspapers or Text Documents Placing a Single Document Place the document face-down on the Platen and align an upper corner of the document with the corner at the arrow of the Platen. Portions placed on the diagonally striped area cannot be scanned. Place the document face-down, 3/8 inches (1 cm) or more away from the edges (diagonally striped area) of the Platen. Portions placed on the diagonally striped area cannot be scanned. Placing Documents Important Large documents (such as A4 photos) that cannot be placed away from the edges/arrow of the Platen may be saved as PDF files. To save in a format other than PDF, scan by specifying the file format. Placing Multiple Documents Place the documents 3/8 inches (1 cm) or more away from the edges (diagonally striped area) of the Platen, and also allow 3/8 inches (1 cm) or more space between documents. Portions placed on the diagonally striped area cannot be scanned. Note You can place up to 10 documents. Positions of slanted documents (10 degrees or less) are corrected automatically. Placing Film Important Dust on the film or Platen appears in scanned images. Remove dust from the film and Platen. Hold the film by the edge to avoid smudges and fingerprints.

Page top Resolution Page 237 of 308 pages On-screen Manual > Scanning Guide > Useful Information on Scanning > Resolution Resolution What is Resolution? The data in the image you have scanned is a collection of dots carrying information about brightness and color. The density of these dots is called "resolution", and resolution will determine the amount of detail your image contains. The unit of resolution is dots per inch (dpi). Dpi is the number of dots per square inch (2.54 cm square). The higher the resolution (value), the more detail in your image; the lower the resolution (value), the less detail. Setting the Resolution in MP Navigator EX In MP Navigator EX, you can specify the resolution with Scanning Resolution in the Scan Settings dialog box. Images for Printing Images to be printed should be scanned at a resolution that corresponds to the resolution of the printer. For example, if you want to print using a 600 dpi black and white printer, you should set the resolution to 600 dpi. With a color printer, specifying the resolution at half the resolution of the printer should be fine. For example, if you want to print scanned paper/photos using a 600 dpi color printer, you should set the resolution to 300 dpi. However, with a high-resolution printer, printing takes longer than usual if you set the resolution to half the resolution of the printer. Example of Appropriate Resolution when Printing to Scale If you print a document at twice the size both vertically and horizontally, the resolution of the document will be reduced by half. If the resolution of the original document is 300 dpi, the resolution of the enlarged document will be 150 dpi. If you print the document with a 600 dpi color printer, the lack of detail in the image may be obvious. In that case, if you scan at the Scanning Resolution of 600 dpi, the resolution will be 300 dpi even if you double the size of document and you can print the document with sufficient quality. Conversely, if you print a document at half scale, it should be sufficient to scan at half the resolution. When Printing Color Photos at Twice the Size Document resolution: 300 dpi Scanning resolution: 600 dpi Scale: 200% Print at twice the size Scanning resolution/actual scanning resolution: 600 dpi Printing resolution: 300 dpi Setting the Resolution in ScanGear (Scanner Driver) In ScanGear (scanner driver), you can specify the resolution with Output Resolution in Output Settings on the Advanced Mode tab. Resolution Page 238 of 308 pages Example of Appropriate Resolution when Printing to Scale The scanning resolution is automatically set so that the value set in Output Resolution will be the resolution of the scanned image. If you set Output Resolution to 300 dpi and scan at twice the size, the document will be automatically scanned at 600 dpi, and the resolution of the scanned image will be 300 dpi. You can print the document with sufficient quality using a 600 dpi color printer. When Printing L Size (8.9 cm x 12.7 cm) Photos at Twice the Size Document resolution: 300 dpi Output resolution: 300 dpi Scale: 200% Scan at twice the size Actual scanning resolution: 600 Image resolution/printing resolution: 300 dpi dpi Appropriate Resolution Settings Set the resolution according to the use of the scanned image. For displaying on a monitor: 150 dpi For printing: 300 dpi When Output Size is set to Flexible in ScanGear's Advanced Mode tab (Select Source is Platen and the scale is 100%): Document Use Color Mode Output Resolution Copying (Printing) Color 300 dpi Creating a postcard Color 300 dpi Saving to a computer Color 75 dpi - 300 dpi Using on a website or attaching to e-mail Color 75 dpi - 150 dpi Black and white photo Saving to a computer Grayscale 75 dpi - 300 dpi Using on a website or attaching to e-mail Grayscale 75 dpi - 300 dpi Text document Copying Color, Grayscale or Black and White 300 dpi Attaching to e-mail Color, Grayscale or Black and White 300 dpi Color photo Important If you double the resolution, the file size quadruples. If the file is too large, the processing speed will slow down significantly, and you will experience inconvenience such as lack of memory. Set the minimum required resolution according to the use of the image. Note Although you can change Output Resolution in ScanGear (scanner driver), it is recommended that you scan at the default value. Page top File Formats Page 239 of 308 pages On-screen Manual > Scanning Guide > Useful Information on Scanning > File Formats File Formats You can select a file format when saving scanned images. You should specify the most suitable format according to how you want to use the image on which application. Available file formats vary by application and computer (Windows or Macintosh). See below for the characteristics of each image file format. BMP (Standard File Extension: .bmp) A standard file format for Windows. BMP is often selected for images that are used only on Windows. JPEG (Standard File Extension: .jpg) A file format often used on websites and for digital camera images. JPEG features high compression rates. JPEG images slightly degrade every time they are saved, and cannot be returned to their original state. JPEG is not available for black and white images. Exif (Standard File Extension: .jpeg) A file format supported by many digital cameras. It adds information such as the date of image capture, camera model, shutter speed, shooting mode and comments to JPEG files. The file format version must be Exif 2.2 or later in order to print on a Direct Print compatible printer. TIFF (Standard File Extension: .tif) A file format featuring a relatively high compatibility between various computers and applications. (Some TIFF files are incompatible.) TIFF is suitable for editing saved images. Note MP Navigator EX supports the following TIFF file formats. - Uncompressed, black and white binary - Uncompressed, RGB (8 bits per channel) - Uncompressed, YCC (8 bits per component) - Grayscale PDF (Standard File Extension: .pdf) A file format developed by Adobe Systems. It can be used on various computers and operating systems. Therefore, PDF files can be exchanged between people who use different operating systems, fonts, etc. regardless of the differences. Important Only PDF files created with MP Navigator EX are supported. PDF files created or edited in other applications are not supported. Page top Color Matching Page 240 of 308 pages On-screen Manual > Scanning Guide > Useful Information on Scanning > Color Matching Color Matching Color Matching adjusts devices as shown below to match the colors of an image displayed on a monitor or a printed image with the colors of the original document. Example: When sRGB is selected as the output profile (target) Input Profile (Source) Scanner ScanGear (Scanner Driver) Output Profile (Target) sRGB OS Application Application Printer Driver Monitor Printer ScanGear (scanner driver) converts the image's color space from the scanner's color space to sRGB. When displaying on a monitor, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the monitor's color space based on the operating system's monitor settings and the application's working space settings. When printing, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the printer's color space based on the application's print settings and the printer driver's settings.
